From OWL:
Recently Catalytic Converter theft has increased across the Hillingdon Borough. Catalytic Converter theft takes only 90 seconds where no protective device has been fitted. Cars targeted by catalytic converter thieves are Hybrid version of TOYOTA AURIS, TOYOTA PRIUS, HONDA JAZZ, HONDA CR-V and LEXUS RX.
Thieves were deterred recently by the use of a protective device around the converter itself. Having looked under the vehicle with a torch the thieves see the protective device and leave. Suspects have even returned to the vehicles where they have stolen a catalytic converter previously, to try and steal the replaced catalytic converter. This is why the protection of your catalytic converter is imperative.
Let's be careful out there !
